  • Techniques and architectures for managing heterogeneous robots to manage deliveries
    Patent number: 12049008
    Abstract: Architectures and techniques to control heterogeneous teams of robots. Input is received from a remote device with a control platform. The control platform provides a control mechanism for a team of heterogenous robots having at least two different control structures. Control signals are generated for at least two different types of robots communicatively coupled with the control platform. A first type of robot is independent of a second type of robot and the first and second type of robot have different control mechanisms. The first type of robot receives a request for an item to be delivered. At least one of the first type of robot operates to identify the item and to move the item to an intermediate location and to generate a request to at least one of the second type of robot. At least one of the second type of robot operates to move the item from the intermediate location to a new location.
